Re: Help!!

i would just upgrade to some factory replacement rotors from autozone or something, and then step up to a good set of pads. something like some Hawk pads should work fine.

on a street car it's hard to justify hundreds of $$$ for slotted or cross drilled rotors when you really don't need them.

but with only 25k miles...i doubt the pads are worn out. maybe get some brake cleaner and spray them out...could just be dust.

Re: Help!!

How do I use the brake cleaner where exactly do I spray on the rotors?,and also is it difficult to change rotors and pads yourself is there a website for it?

Re: Help!!

pull the wheel off, and just spray the **** out of the pads and rotors (it's an areosol can). try to get up into the caliper...under the pads.

could be dust build up
